I like big cans. Sure, a lot of people say that, but I like to play with 'em.
As the site says: With very little effort, you can make terrain that looks like you didn't put much effort into it. I was never really pleased with the results, so I decided to finish the work I'd been putting into them I had already added a sign, a ladder, and other detail to one tank, but they needed more. I built a split-level enclosure and base out of cintra, and primed it. I then glued the cans into place.
The gate is made of craft wood, and is hung as is gate 2 in How to Hang A Door, except that the hinges are mounted on the inside of the walls so they are hidden, and the gate will open flush with the wall interiors. There's also a simple locking mechanism so they don't flop open at inopportune moments. In scale, that's one big hook! |
There is the usual graffitti, oil stans, grit, etc. I filled spaces with the nicknames of some of my gaming pals, and a tribute to em-4. Among the scatter is a discarded Combat Zone Chronicle. (That's a trooper's head beside it for comparison) There are also old 'Get Into Tax Paying' posters (defaced) and newer 'Tax Paying is Cool' posters.
